Monte Carlo methods and Markov Chain algorithms have long been central to computational science, forming the backbone of numerical simulation in a variety of disciplines. These techniques employ ...

There are two flavors of QMC, (a) variational Monte Carlo (VMC) and (b) projector Monte Carlo (PMC). VMC starts by proposing a functional form for the wavefunction and then optimizes the parameters of ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...
